Is urinary frequency a typical symptom of bv? Or is it possible that this is something else altogether? I have been checked for UTI and it was negative. How long should it take for the Flagyl to work? I only have 3 doses left and I am worried that I will finish the meds before the symptoms go away. Any help would be appreciated.
